Poor Matt Lauer<\/a>. In-between dealing with the fallout from this week’s New York Magazine expose<\/a> on the troubled firing of Ann Curry from the Today Show<\/em> and apologizing to former interns<\/a> over Twitter, the man just can’t seem to get along with his newest female co-host.<\/p>\n

Lauer and co-host Savannah Guthrie were out in Times Square doing a segment on vacuum cleaners this morning when Guthrie had a little trouble operating the confusing device. As the segment wrapped up, Lauer cracked that it was “the first time Savannah has ever vacuumed.”<\/p>\n

Guthrie took offense to the joke and let fly with a spontaneous one-finger salute<\/a> in Lauer’s direction.<\/p>\n

Guthrie has since claimed via Twitter that she actually raised her index finger, not her middle finger:<\/p>\n
